The Auto Ordnance Thompson 1927A-1 Deluxe is a semi-automatic .45 ACP pistol that brings the legend of the classic Tommy Gun into the modern shooter's hands—in a compact, legal-to-own format. With a 10.5-inch barrel, walnut horizontal foregrip, and blued steel finish, this is the kind of piece that turns heads at the range while staying practical for serious shooters who appreciate authentic design and American manufacturing heritage.

This is a gun built for shooters who know the Thompson's reputation and want something with real character. The 10-round magazine capacity, fixed blade sights, and semi-auto operation make it suitable for target shooting, recreational plinking, and those who just want to experience what made the Thompson an icon. Weighing in at 5 pounds and running 23.3 inches overall, it's substantial enough to handle the .45 ACP's recoil with authority but manageable in the field or at the bench.

Auto Ordnance engineered this Deluxe model with period-correct details: the walnut foregrip and authentic drum magazine are U.S. manufactured to specifications that honor the original design. The semi-auto action cycles reliably, and the 1:16 barrel twist is optimized for .45 ACP ballistics. Whether you're a Thompson enthusiast, a collector, or a shooter looking for something that performs as well as it looks, the 1927A-1 Deluxe delivers genuine appeal without compromise.
